Spotify Connect (Chromecast) not working in Music Control

Spotify Connect (Chromecast) not working in Music Control

When I switch output to Spotify Connect device iOS Music Control shows that no music is being played - so I cannot control remote Spotify device (Android TV in my case, but also every chromecast devices). More reports in this theard, but it's already marked as solved that's why I created a new theard.

 

On images below you can see that music is being streamed using Spotify Connect and I can control it through the Spotify app but no luck in the iOS Music Control

Hey! Thanks for reaching out!

 

Good question! Due to some iOS limitations, it's not possible to control music on Spotify Connect using iOS media controls. You can still control everything using the Spotify app. Let me know when you have any other questions!

 

Have a nice day! 🙂

Thanks for a reply.

 

Yeah, that's possible to control Connect device using Spotify iOS app. But it's impossible with Apple Watch, neither native Spotify Watch app nor access through Apple Music Control.
